Ah ! great to hear that ! Imagine a 'Linux road warrior' (LRW for short) pluging into the Net far from home, but using his e-Mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... he will use his sendmail/postfix/whatever on the local machine to send mail ... guess how close his IP will be to the MX at home ? > Understandable.

I will try to be as little cynical as possible, but: When was the date we all switched to IPv6 ? Yes, right, we all do 'trusted computing' allready and wasn't it the same guy saying 'There will be no spam whithin 18 month from now' in Davos, who also said '640kB of RAM are enough for everybody' ? Maybe I'm in this Biz too long to believe in miracles introduced by new technologies. There are major flaws in that proposal (link below) too. First to mention our LRW. Does he really have to build a VPN tunnel to his homeLAN just to be able to send mail ? Imagine the RMX sets of FreeMailers (GMX, HotMail et al) ... or do you plan to ban them anyway ? I'm sorry to say that, but I'm afraid we have a long way to go before we get rid of spam. BTW: ever thought about your sending SMTP server signing mail headers from known senders (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] from within the company LAN) digitally ? So the recieving MUA can check the Sig against the public key of the server and if unmatched, slip the message to the 'not good' folder. Yes, this is also the proosal of a kind of a new standard, but it works without changing all the DNS/SMTP servers out there ... just a thought, Goesta > The > following link explains RMX. > http://www.danisch.de/work/security/txt/draft-danisch-dns-rr-smtp-00.txt -- Wiener Hilfswerk - EDV 1072 Wien, Schottenfeldgasse 29 Tel: 512 36 61 DW 407 / Fax 512 36 61 33 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
